CNN: Blue Dog Democrats urge the deficit panel to think big
It’s NOT going to matter because the REPUBS in Congress are the BIG WIGS
Nothing is going to pass them – they rather see the economy fall
And the SAD part about it – blind Americans keep electing them and later will brawl!!

CNN: NY, NV special elections: A big victory or no big deal?
If Democrats THINK this is “no big deal” and don’t see a STEAL
Let them keep allowing the Republicans in and it’s over in 2012
And they might as well put their jobs back to collect DUST on the shelves

The NY election was really a shocker and KOCH set the stage
He got all of the Jews in a pod and they got really engaged
If they were sending a message to Obama they succeeded in just that
But a better message would have been “we got your back”

Democrats JUMP SHIP too easily. The Republicans, whether they are RIGHT or WRONG, stick together. But I am NOT too worried about both elections. If President Obama continues on his path and “does not” waiver and the people get out with the same message, WE WIN. We are NOT outnumbered even though it seems that way now because we have a TON of REPUBS on the stage “saturating” the media with their far-RIGHT ignorant agenda!!

CNN: White House role questioned in stimulus loan for failed solar company

Crumbling to a disaster while the Politicians forget it’s about the PEOPLE of America the free!!!
